More reasons to study religion?

Will Deming, in his introductory book on the study of religion, writes: “According to recent estimates, as much as 85 percent of the world’s population are adherents of a religious tradition.

This means that the overwhelming majority of people in the world are, to some extent, motivated by specifically religious concerns. Thus the study of religion can provide insight into the hearts, minds, and activities of most of humanity.
